US 160 / UK 0 The score for murdered police officers last year.

Thay say: "God made Man, but Sam Colt made men equal."
That includes (armed) chicks.

A very small number....given the availability of handguns, how many people were killed by a stack of coins in a sock last year ?

This is an assumption based on personal bias.

When I acknowledge my argument is disproven you will be the first to know. In the meantime, do not make rash statements.
Is this from the same person who told me they had won the argument ? Perhaps in your mind there are no end of wins.

You said you were sick and needed a gun to feel better. That is a rise in your feelings of importance.

Your argument is that if more violence is available to people they will use it less...and you have the audacity to talk about flawed logic.

How dare you claim to have won an argument without my concession.

How many people would you like gun laws to save for it to be worthwhile ?

THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Tuesday, March 1, 2011


The left has permanently lost the argument on gun control.
Despite their best efforts to take advantage of the tragic shooting
in Arizona to promote pointless restrictions on things like the size
of handgun magazines, the propaganda campaign is unlikely to go anywhere.

Instead, the right to keep and bear arms continues to gain steam
as state lawmakers around the country are enacting measures that
would have been unthinkable not so long ago.

On Monday, Wyoming lawmakers sent Gov. Matt Mead a “castle doctrine” bill
that recognizes the right of residents to use a gun to protect themselves
from home invasion or carjacking without fear of civil or criminal prosecution.

A spokesman for Mr. Mead said the governor would review the proposal today,
along with a second bill granting residents the ability to carry concealed weapons
without a license. The lawmakers also proposed a constitutional amendment
recognizing the perpetual right to hunt, fish and trap.

No less should be expected from a place calling itself “The
Cowboy State,” but even swing states are open to the idea of
ditching obsolete relics of an anti-gun past. A Pennsylvania Senate
committee held a hearing yesterday on a castle doctrine bill.
The General Assembly has adopted similar legislation in the past
only to be thwarted by the veto pen of then-Gov. Ed Rendell.
Voters have since replaced the Democratic party chieftain with
Gov. Tom Corbett, a Republican who promised, “I would sign it”
during the campaign.

The North Carolina Senate passed its own castle doctrine bill Monday.
In Arizona, where laws are already gun-friendly, the House last week
endorsed a proposal that would prevent overzealous homeowners
associations from denying residents their constitutionally protected
right to own firearms. The legislature’s Democratic and Republican
caucuses likewise support a Senate bill that would prevent university
administrators from denying students with concealed carry licenses
from bringing weapons on campus.

Whenever the left is defeated at the statehouse and ballot box,
it turns to the courts. The Supreme Court shot down most of these
efforts with the District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v. Chicago
rulings reviving judicial recognition of the Second Amendment.
Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe received legislation on Monday
that forbids local governments from attempting to file
liability lawsuits against manufacturers of guns and ammunition.
The same bill also prohibits localities from passing any sort
of “emergency ordinance” to seize Americans’ firearms as
happened in New Orleans during the Katrina hurricane.

Passage of these NRA-backed measures also reflects the
growing realization among many Democratic lawmakers
that they’ve lost gun control as a political issue

Proper gun freedom will be restored
when the citizens wear their guns as freely as their sox.


( tho there is no explicit Constitutional Right to wear sox )

Have gun laws saved anyone but the criminal?

The reasoning of your question is ill-founded.
The purpose of self-defense is hedonistic self-interest, NOT altruism,

altho crime seems to decline somewhat
when we repeal our anti-gun laws.

Has a lack of gun laws massacred anyone but the innocent ?

The purpose of owning a hand gun is to shoot someone . How many people will be killed and wounded with gun laws and without....the question is well-founded, you just dont like it .

Your statement is false, tho that might be an incidental result.
If u need a gun u damn well better HAVE one.





No; your logic is flawed.
When a citizen needs personal defense
he is stupid to consider the situation on a collectivist basis.
(If he does, we are better off without him: good bye.)
The only thing that counts (for him) is his individual experience.
He needs to be able to handle the situation.



with good reason

Yes, indeed it has.
In freedom of self-defense situations
many innocent people have massacred criminal predators.
It surprizes me that u ask that question.

I 'm very pleased n satisfied when I read of the good guys killing the bad guys.
I accept that result as a PERSONAL BENEFIT.





David

Gun laws have made the innocent easy 'unarmed' targets for all criminals.
